Perceiving Particulars

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Causalists contend that you see a specific object (rather than a lookalike, or no object at all) because that object sits at the beginning of an appropriate causal chain that terminates in your visual experience. We argue that neither standard causalists nor their non‐causalist opponents can adequately accommodate a striking asymmetry between ...

Sufficient Reason Vindicated

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT I give an argument for a version of the principle of sufficient reason from several plausible principles about negative facts and sufficient conditions. I then give an argument for a slightly weaker version of the principle without the reference to negative facts.

‘Who is the Gael who Would Not Weep?’: The Book of the O’Conor Don, Fearghal Óg Mac an Bhaird, and Late Bardic Poetry of Exile

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how late bardic poetry transforms the condition of exile into a literary mode that reimagines community and tradition. I argue that poetry of lament, blessing and devotion articulates a broader literary consciousness that anticipates modern notions of a national consciousness. The compilation of bardic verse in manuscript

From Nominalisation to Passive in Old Tibetan: Reconstructing Grammatical Meaning in an Extinct Language

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 124, Issue 2, Page 314-356, July 2026.
Abstract Based on an analysis of the Old Literary Tibetan corpus—a corpus of the oldest documented Tibetic language—the present study provides evidence that literary Tibetan v3 verb stems (commonly termed ‘future’) initially encoded passive voice. New arguments put forward in this article range from Trans‐Himalayan nominal morphology to early Tibetan ...

James Platt Junior's Contributions to Old English Grammar1

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 124, Issue 2, Page 428-442, July 2026.
Abstract In 1883, Henry Sweet took issue with James Platt junior, a 21‐year‐old language enthusiast. At the time, Platt was England's brightest young prospect in Old English linguistic studies. Sweet recognised Platt's talent, but he became convinced that he was also a plagiarist and tried to have him expelled from the Philological Society.

Reconstructing Old Chinese *‐ts Using Han‐Time Material

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 124, Issue 2, Page 487-512, July 2026.
Abstract Baxter & Sagart (2014b) reconstruct *‐Vt‐s on the basis of Middle Chinese reflexes in ‐jH (from some OC *‐s) coupled with either etymological or graphic connections to words in Middle Chinese ‐t. This approach, while perfectly sound, can suffer from lack of etymological or graphic data, leading to missed reconstructions. Since Old Chinese *‐ts
